| Obverse description | The obverse bears a single Arabic letter 'Ha' (ح) in the field, rendered in Islamic calligraphic style. This letter serves as a monogram and represents the initial of 'Haidar' (حيدر), the name of Haidar Ali, father of Tipu Sultan, honouring his dynastic lineage. The character is centrally placed on the small flan with minimal additional ornamentation, consistent with the confined format of the fanam denomination. |
